Dear OGF participants,
Checking with Dan, this is still of interest. Please respond if appropriate to the following request for information needed to catalog and encourage research efforts aimed towards development of reliable and efficient scientific software. If your group and/or you personally are working in the area of scientific programming, you may be interested in this topic and I encourage you to add your efforts to the list.
OGF would be happy to support creation of a working group or groups, and to provide repositories, catalogs wiki and email support to such groups. Please contact me, Jens Jensen, Wolfgang Ziegler or any of the other OGF group or area leaders if you are interested in receiving any assistance.

Dear all,
As part of work for the WSSSPE workshop, we in the UK Community of Research Software Engineers
would like to build a list of all “research software engineering” groups in universities around the world.
We are looking for institutions which, in addition to any HPC facility services, also provide services to help researchers with the development of
readable, reliable and efficient scientific software. We’re particularly interested in the provision of longer-term collaborative software development
consultancy services to research, rather than specific short term support for the use of specific local HPC facilities.
We’re building this list at www.rse.ac.uk/international.html<http://www.rse.ac.uk/international.html> , and you can either add a link to your group there by github pull request,
or by directly emailing me at j.hetherington(a)ucl.ac.uk<mailto:j.hetherington@ucl.ac.uk>.
If your institution doesn’t yet provide such a pool of scientific programmers, but you would like to try and set one up,
we would love to help support the expansion of a similar function in the US – the universities of Cambridge,
Manchester, Sheffield, and Southampton, and University College London have recently set up such teams, and it seems to be going well.
